Production in Israel for Spy Game, an international thriller starring Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, was delayed Thursday due to continued clashes between Israelis and Palestinians, reported CNN online. 

Violence has wracked the region since September 28 and has left more than 100 Palestinians dead.  

Tony Scott, who is directing the thriller about a CIA agent who has to rescue a protégé, was in Casablanca, Morocco, on Thursday looking for a replacement location that could double for Beirut, circa 1984. Other possible locations are Turkey and Tunisia.
